Snowcat

Breathtaking scenery, untouched snow, and backcountry terrain that will make your heart race and all for a reasonable price. Get the best of both worlds when you choose a snowcat trip which combines luxurious experiences with excellent value. Snowcat skiing isn’t just the budget alternative to heli ski, it’s your fun and relaxing escort to powder paradise. So much to offer!

Picture yourself slicing through fresh powder in the beautiful backcountry of the world’s most remote ski and snowboard destinations. With a snowcat trip, you can get the most vertical for your buck as cat ski trips offer the perfect balance of fresh tracks to value, especially in comparison to heli ski. Cat skiing, often referred to as the “little sister” of heli skiing, shouldn’t stand in the shadow anymore. Snowcat riding offers many advantages that heli skiing doesn’t come close to beating.

With a snowcat trip you can be sure you will get more vertical for your money since costs for fuel, machines etc are much cheaper. Snow cats are able to quickly get you to your destination without the stressful safety procedures which you will always have with heliski. Not only that, but you won’t have to worry about the weather affecting the helicopter, so you can be sure that there will be no “down days”. Snow cats are also known for being more eco-friendly than helicopters. But if saving your money and reducing your carbon footprint aren’t your biggest concerns, just think about what a relaxing time you’ll have with a snowcat as your travel mode. Forget loud noises and the stress of serious safety precautions that are needed for helicopter travel. In a snowcat, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride, and don’t worry because you’ll feel warm and comfortable because of the laid-back vibe that this stress-free trip allows.

During your ride up the slopes to your next set of fresh tracks, you’ll enjoy the warm cabin of the snow cat and possibly relax to some good tunes, too. Riding in a snowcat will also be a great way to grab a quick snack, delicious sandwich, enjoy a hot drink between runs and exchange stories about the great pow with the new friends you’re sure to meet.
